SBI will deduct the charges starting April 1. There will be Rs 50 charge for people carrying out over three cash transactions at its branch within a month. There is no upper limit for Cash Transaction.

As per the categorization of area, charges will be levied like maintenance of Rs 5,000 mandatory for accounts in metropolitan areas, Rs 3,000 in urban areas, Rs 2,000 in semi-urban areas and Rs 1,000 in rural areas.
